Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Optician nearly talked me out of them with the potential issues but when I got my 1st pair they were half price so I got the expensive ones. Not sure if that's why I was OK but never had any issues

I read my kindle fine I can make he text a bit bigger or lighten the screen. I can read my phone without too but it’s more of a challenge, it’s mostly for computers for work.

I’ve got books that I have been bought or ones I bought before reading a book was a problem and I’m struggling with those. It makes me sad my husband used to take photos of me in different places always with a book in my hand. He’s commented that he never sees me read now.

Maybe I try new varifocals as the optician said my distance vision has changed and would mean I could be ok seeing with them rather than better without.

I was going to go back.to two pairs of glasses rather than varifocals this time.but optician talked me out of it and glad he did, plus he said I would need 3 pairs of glasses not too. I wear mine all the time and for running and cycling, they are reactive ones to.

We don't have a bath, and i am not a bath lover but really have been wanting a good long soak lately

I think they were ok at first pix I’ve had them about 4 years now I can read in them it’s distance so I still prefer to take them off. I also get sick of you need new prescription every 2 years it feels like a money making scheme than necessity. I only wear the contact for work and readers to do recipes etc but cheap ready readers which are probably not quite right neither.

I need to win the lottery. Replacement lenses that work forever would be my no 1 wishlist

Going back to my post on page 313, I probably didn’t make it clear that as I was voted NEWT of the day the previous day I was awarding Fleecy and her spotting bats as the winner yesterday.

Congratulations Fleecy :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
